The Heavens Have Welcomed the Beautiful Spirit of Joan Rodriguez; may she be at Peace & Grace….unless she decides to make a little Mischief!!

It is with a grieving ♥ that I relate to all family & friends on Social Networks that Our beloved dear sister and friend Joan Rodriguez (@Joanie399) moved on to Spirit World on February 22, 2015; Joanie died peacefully in her sleep. We were not ready to have her leave us, but I believe she had another calling to follow and the heavens are certainly a richer place now with her there. Joanie touched the heart of each person she came in contact with, whether by phone call, e-mail, My Space, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and others. Those of us who are active on Social Networks for various causes, projects, calls-to-action, etc pertaining to Peace, Justice, Human Rights, Environmental Rights and so much more know of Joanie’s…

Even before there were large numbers of Negroes on our shore, the scar of racial hatred had already disfigured colonial society. From the sixteenth century forward, blood flowed in battles over racial supremacy. We are perhaps the only nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its indigenous population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade. Indeed, even today we have not permitted ourselves to reject or feel remorse for this shameful episode. Our literature, our films, our drama, our folklore all exalt it. Our children are still taught to respect the violence which reduced a red-skinned people of an earlier culture into a few fragmented groups herded into impoverished reservations.”
